Abstract

We will shortly celebrate the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Co-operative North Scandinavian Enalapril Survival Study (CONSENSUS), a clinical trial which revolutionized the treatment of heart failure and highlighted the importance of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in the pathophysiology of heart failure (Figure1).
